February 20, 2009 - Few gaming icons are as fashionable to scorn as Sonic the Hedgehog. Poking fun of werehogs is an easy sport, to be sure. But his last few adventures, including the recent Sonic Unleashed, have fallen short of his celebrated original run -- at least by reputation. Some critics claim Sonic never really survived the jump to 3D and exists today only on the fumes of nostalgic good will. Others think the trouble started much earlier, when Sonic raced along so fast that nobody noticed the ground had run out beneath his trademark red sneakers.

March 7, 2006 - Welcome to IGN's weekly countdown of the exceptional, fascinating and absurd...something we like to call Top 10 Tuesday. Every week we'll feature the top ten games, characters, fashion statements or whatever else we can think of that in some way relates to gaming and its history. And just because it's called Top 10 Tuesday doesn't mean it's always going to be a list of the best -- we like to razz on stuff just the same as we praise it. From counting down the best consoles ever to revealing the worst use of fish heads in a videogame, this is where it's at.

February 5, 2002 - It's going to take some time to shake the feeling that the universe isn't quite the same now that Sega's producing games for other systems. Sonic's Sega's baby, and it's just a little odd to see the blue guy happily run across the screen on the former competition's system. Oh, sure, he managed to find his way onto the now defunct NeoGeo Pocket Color over a year ago, but that didn't seem as odd then as his experiencing his Nintendo debut with Sonic Advance on the Game Boy Advance. But it's definitely a good feeling, because Sega went all out for Sonic's Nintendo premiere...Sonic Advance is a well-rounded package for the GBA, containing new elements wrapped around the classic Sonic gameplay.

February 4, 2002 - THQ has announced that Sonic Advance, Columns Crown and Puyo Pop have all shipped for the Game Boy Advance, and should be available as early as tomorrow. These three games mark the first batch of Sega GBA titles to be released under the THQ name...THQ has the rights to release 16 GBA titles through March 2003 under the agreement between the two companies.

December 13, 2001 - The year 2001 marks several historical points, but none so significant to gaming as Sonic the Hedgehog's 10-year anniversary. This blue critter began its life as one of Sega's key players on the Genesis ¿ and he continues his career by jumping from Sega's world to become one of the Game Boy Advance's first pocket heroes. Sonic will be making the move to Nintendo's advanced handheld this summer, and Sonic Team has given gamers the very first look at how the game is progressing on the system.

May 22, 2001 - Were you overwhelmed by all the news, movies and screens that IGN and other websites tossed at you during the three-day madness that is E3? Well, that's understandable. Luckily, IGNinsider can help bring order to the chaos (not as in Sonic's Chaos) with Post-E3 updates organized by game companies. We will highlight a different game publisher every day, show you what their E3 booths looked like and tell you what games they displayed on the show floor.

May 18, 2001 - Sega's booth was closed to the general public, but that didn't stop us from getting through the guarded doors to get a first-hand look of the first Sonic game to ever hit a Game Boy system -- Sonic the Hedgehog Advance.
